"From Genesis To Revelation" is the debut album of Genesis and it came out the same year as both King Crimson and Yes' debuts, 1969. There were a few progressive rock albums that year {in my opinion progressive rock had been around for at least 3 years by then, but that's another story for another time}.
Now, I know of another band called Genesis, but they were a Christian outfit, led by one Mary McKee and they appeared quite a while after
the Genesis. However, it turns out that there was an American 60s band called Genesis and not only that, they actually made a record the year before Peter Gabriel's lot did and their album was called "In the Beginning."
Wonders will never cease !
An old acquaintance, the generous Aaron Milensky, said this in his review of their album:
Most of this album is pretty typical post-Jefferson Airplane co-ed psych/folk-rock, better than most but not exactly stunning. But they really shine on the 16-minute blowout on side two, which follows up a few haunting verses with a long guitar solo that’s exactly the opposite of what you’d expect: it’s carefully constructed, more like a set of clever guitar solos and hooks strung together in a logical fashion. None of it is particularly complicated, but that means that no time is wasted showing off. Not a note appears to be improvised, and as such it’s really one of the best long solos you’ll hear. The rest of the album pretty much pales in comparison, but for the one song alone it’s worth owning
I've never heard it. And I don't want to !
